Thanks for the additional suggestions! I'll try the Marvel Mystery oil and see how that goes. Hopefully I'll get a chance to work with it tomorrow and get something figured out!

Re: Popping carb

Re: Popping carb

Thanks for bringing that up. I have also replaced the intake and exhaust manifolds as the old ones were warped. New gaskets and all but I'll check it out.
